Day 319 - 2010

Mitchell made it quite clear today that he wanted to be sitting up - watching the world go by as we walked to school. I love that he is asserting his independence - in a tolerable manner!

Day 318 - 2010

Cierra received a new Twilight book - it has quickly become a favourite.

Day 317 - 2010

Better watch out Marlee - this boy is on the move and he wants YOUR candy!

Day 316 - 2010

I finally got the family photos moved upstairs and on the wall. I can now check another item off my November to do list.

Day 315 - 2010

Marlee and I went out for her lunch break at school. She of course picked MacDonald's for her 1:1 time with me. It was really nice to get out together and I hope to do this with each of them every other month.

I picked up 4 frozen chicken and 2 dozen farm fresh eggs yesterday! I am cooking up a roast chicken for dinner tonight!

Day 314 - 2010

We had a visit with Steve tonight! He's home from Alaska to visit his dad who had a heart attack last week (who btw is recuperating well - just readjusting to the changes he has to make). We had a great visit and loved hearing tales from their last visit to India!

Day 313 - 2010

Matthew's class is busy continuing their "Flat Student" projects. This week "Flat Javier" is visiting with us and he has to journal about his experience with him.

Day 312 - 2010

Silly bands - another craze rolling through town. They are thin plastic bracelets that are in the forms of different shapes when laid out flat. They have everything from princess crowns and shoes to guitars, to cars and maple leaves. The kids have been trading them and losing them and learning lots of life lessons from them!

Day 311 - 2010

After church we delivered flyers for an upcoming event, got Marlee to a birthday party, relaxed for a bit and then headed to a surprise party for Drew's partner's wife. Mitchell was a hit at the party and enjoyed the plate charger for entertainment. It is wonderful what is available to chew on!

Day 310 - 2010

Okay - so we are so not impressed. The decals on our new (as in less then a month old) dishwasher are all rubbing off! And so far we have not heard back from the store we purchased it from!

Day 309 - 2010

Matt and I had a doctor's appointment today so we decided to have lunch out at Burger King before heading back to school. Our lesson for the day is that $3 kraft dinner is not really worth it for the following reasons:
1. $3???
2. Especially if it falls on the floor (thankfully they replaced it for us)
or
3. If you are too distracted to even eat it anyway!

Day 308 - 2010

Grandpa came by the school to pick up the kids so they could shop for Samaritan's Purse Christmas boxes. While there he had a go on Matt's scooter. Go Grandpa! We joined up with them later for dinner at the mall and then went on to the City Hall where a friend of ours was displaying her art, along with her grandmother. Apparently anyone can put their work on display for a month at a time. It was really neat to see her creations - she has done a great job!

Day 307 - 2010

Cindi was due for another visit today!

Day 306 - 2010

The BeyBlade sensation! Every day after school the kids have a "battle" in the stadium. Interesting how these fads come and go...

Day 305 - 2010

Mitchell tried baby mum mums today. I think we have a winner.
